Project Fearless

Here’s a priceless quote from the mayor of Honolulu:

“One thing we all know, the virus is everywhere. It’s everywhere. It’s in the Rose Garden of the White House infecting top government leaders. It’s in UH football team even though they get tested on a regular basis. It’s at our satellite city hall at Kapolei, in our DPP, permitting center out there. It’s not going to go away.”

That quote was the prelude to the first new weekly “super-duper corona” report. So far, according to the mayor, the 7-day moving average for daily infections is low. Suspiciously low. However, there is now the possibility that gyms can reopen under “Tier 2” on October 22nd at 25% capacity. Wheee!

Addendum: Even if gyms were to open on October 22nd, the latter would be immediately shut down again if the “super-duper corona” 7-day moving average were to increase. Then, it’s back to the default “Tier 1” bullshit.

Update: The lieutenant governor of Hawai’i is now clamoring for mandatory full-time face mask usage. Expect the governor to issue a directive soon.
